Trump LIV Golf — Former President Donald Trump laughs while looking over the 18th hole during the final round of the LIV Golf Bedminster

Donald Trump has claimed that he won the Senior Club Championship at Bedminster after shooting a round of 67. He also emphasized that there wasn't any falsehood in his claim, contrary to what people might think.

Trump's passion for golf is not hidden, and he frequently playes golf whenever his schedule permits. Earlier this month, he was also seen at the LIV Golf Bedminster Pro-Am at Trump National

The former US President announced on Truth Social, his personal social media platform:

"I am pleased to report, for those that care, that I just won the Senior Club Championship (must be over 50 years old!) at Bedminster (Trump National Golf Club), shooting a round of 67."

"Now, some people will think that sounds low, but there is no hanky/lanky. Many people watch, plus I am surrounded by Secret Service Agents. Not much you can do even if you wanted to, and I don't. For some reason, I am just a good golfer/athlete - I have won many Club Championships, and it is always a great honor!"

It's not the first time a former US President has made such a claim. A couple of weeks ago, he announced that he and Patrick Reed had beaten the duo of Pat Perez and Peter Uihlein in a match prior to the LIV Golf Bedminster.

As per the USGA GHIN (Golf Handicap Information Network), Trump holds a handicap of 2.5, but fans have always been wary of the claims.
